LAKE CRYSTAL, June 10, 1887

The great American eagle has made
arrangements to visit Lake Crystal on
the coming Fourth of July, and brine
his entire family. We would like tC
have every one turn out and hear him
scream, and will guarantee for the PEG.
pie of Mankato general good time in
coming to the Lake to celebrate. The
Knights of Labor would give us much
pleasure by their presence. There are
plenty of excellent groves about the
lake, the boating is good and boats are
plenty. Come up, Mankato, and see
your neighbors.
Our fire laddies had an opportunity
last Thursday of showing how they
could rush around if necessary. About
8 o'clock p. NJ. it was discovered that the
roof of the round house was on fire, and
an alarm given. Hose Company No. l
responded to man. The pump at the
water works was apart undergoing re-
pairs, and no pressure could be got un-
til the building was nearly burned, and
then it was useless; but the boys gave us
sample of what they were able to do
under the conditions. The building was
total loss, but it was of but little value.
H. Mclean received by express

the last meeting. and grant him permits
sion to raise his present frame building
to :wo stories and brick veneer it.
Aid. Boegen moved that the desired
permission be granted. Considerable
discussion was INDUCED in. Aid. Schi.
man stated that frame shanties are be-
ing erected all around Mr.. Deeelman's
in violation of the fire ordinance. The
fire marshal said that he had ordered
them to stop work on the frame build
ings referred to.
An amendment to Aid. Boegen's mo.
ton, that the matter be postponed until
the city attorney should be present, was
voted down. The original motion was
then carried, 9 to 4. The question was
raised whether two-thirds majority
was not necessary to carry the motion
1t was referred TO the city attorney for
his decision. 1t is very questionable
whether any part of the action taken in
the matter was according to the rules Of
order which govern the actions of the
council.
The question of water works was dis
cussed without any action being taken
The general sentiment was that the sys
tenn is more important just now than the
| extension.
The council adjourned until 10 a. m.
June 9th, when it will meet for the pur
pose of equalizing assessments.

For the relief and cure Of all diseases
Of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, and
Bowels, the value Of Ayers Cathartic
Pills cannot be overestimated. This
remedy is also unrivaled in curing
Rheumatic and Neuralgia affections.
For keeping the Stomach, Bowels,

Ayers Cathartic Pills. I always use
this remedy when occasion requires. -

home manufactures in case they car
get as much or more for their money
than elsewhere, and we know that in
order for us to merit their patronage
we can't do it on goods made as
cheap as possible, but as good as can

of the work can be afforded. We
produce open and top buggies and
carriages of all styles, Spring Wagons,

that enables us to judge as to what
manufacturers produce the best goods,
so that we know what we are selling

parties purchasing of us know where
to come in case the goods do not come
up to what we claim. Call and see
